How does a scramjet engine work
In: 2
Just like a normal jet, but it doesn’t need a compressor.
Air enters the engine and compresses as it slows down. It doesn’t need a compressor to compress the air since it is moving so fast. The compressed air has fuel added which is ignited and expands out the back which pushes the plane forward.
Making one work is a lot tougher than it would seem given its apparent simplicity–it’s basically a fast moving tube in which fuel is injected and ignited.
